5 Minute Chocolate Chip Cookies in a Mug!

If you follow me on Twitter or Pinterest - which you should ;) - you would know I've been up to a lot lately in the land of food. I've been eating (more than I should), Instagramming everything (from pineapple and custard sundaes down the Cape to baking bread with my nan), and pinning my little heart out. I seem to be getting a backlog of items to blog about so I figured I'd start off with something quick and yummy that you all would appreciate... Chocolate Chip Mug Cookies!

By now you've probably taken 2 years off the life of your microwave on account of making so many 5 minute chocolate cakes... or maybe that's just me? Either way, there's a new 5 minute concoction in town and as an admitted chocolate-chip-cookie-a-holic, I couldn't be happier. I still have the original email for the cake recipe from 4 or 5 years ago, aptly entitled 'The most dangerous recipe you'll ever know'. However, after making and eating this cookie recipe, I can honestly say the 5 minute cake has been dethroned in my mind.

Now it doesn't taste the same as an oven baked cookie, but it get's the point across and can knock a craving on it's ass!

Ingredients:

1 Egg

3 tbsp Brown Sugar

1/3 cup Flour

1 tbsp Softened Butter (I used tub margarine vs. stick)

3-4 tbsp of chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Add all ingredients to a large mug stirring until everything is combined. Be sure the butter is incorporated throughout the mixture and isn't left in lumps.
